The reaction will be interesting with this one. Attractive female teacher, 16-year-old female student. Texas. At least that news station was treating her like as much of a scumbag as they would have a male teacher.

At what age is someone responsible for their own actions? I mean, at 16 you can drive a multi-ton death machine and be held responsible if you break the law, so why aren't you responsible at 16 for sex?

Yeah, the teacher farked up, fire her. But to think that a sixteen-year-old doesn't know how or why to make her naughty parts cause an endorphin release in the brain is just pants-on-head stupid. The whole concept of prosecuting actions like these in a criminal court, where consent was given, seems pretty asinine. Hell, I had a sociology prof in college that conducted on surveys every year with the incoming freshman class. According to his data, the average age a student became sexually active in 1999 was 14.

So the 16 YO was with this teacher several times. Now the mother of said 16 YO believes her poor daughter was taken advantage of and didn't know what she was doing. !6 and she doesn't know what's going on?!?!?

Dear Mom: You need to come to grips with the fact that your little princess isn't going to be having any grandchildren for you. She's never going to bring a boy home to meet you. You can learn to live with that or lose a daughter.

Pelvic Splanchnic Ganglion:NFA: Wow, so we're to the point where the media is completely comfortable with prosecuting someone in the press? I can remember a day not so long ago people would be demanding the reporter be fired.

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? (ha, almost wrote quilty).

When it's a sex crime (and especially when kids are involved), the accused is automatically guilty, even if they're proven innocent in court. I've seen several people have their businesses, careers, families, and lives completely destroyed just from the accusation alone, even after proving their innocence in court.

I find this to be a telling snippet from the article:She didn't have anything to say until she was cornered several blocks away."Just leave me alone," said Garcia.

The media chased her down, literally sprinting after her, until they had her until they had her cornered. They tried to force a confession out of her with loaded questions which can only damage her case and cannot help in any way.

I caught that too. They cornered her. This is what passes for journalism these days.
